Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Heavy Sword Has No Edge
The Saudi Arabian team was very dissatisfied with the attitude shown by the Chinese national team, and they gave Liu Yihai an ultimatum at the press conference before the game: "If you don't send Lin Qi to play, your Chinese national team won't want to be able to break the goal of our Saudi Arabian team in this game. ”
The words of the head coach of the Saudi Arabian team were quite hostile, and I don't know if he really attached great importance to Lin Qi, or if he was trying to provoke Liu Yihai and the Chinese national team.
This approach has a strong utilitarian nature, and their statement is that they are disrespecting the main striker of the Chinese national team, which is likely to cause intra-team conflicts in the Chinese national team.
Maybe their purpose is not to want Lin Qi to appear.
But no matter what they want to do, the Saudi Arabian team's calculations are about to be empty, and the Chinese national team has an old monster in charge, who dares to cause conflicts within the team?
Even if it's An Run, even if it's Lin Qi, if it really becomes a discordant factor in the Huaxia national team, then the old monster will definitely expel them from his team without hesitation!
That's how the old monster coaches.
At the same time, the old monster also responded to the Saudi Arabian team's provocation at the press conference: "I believe that the two defenders of the Saudi Arabian team are indeed quite good, but it is very difficult to say that we will not score. Of course, if we really can't open up the situation on the court, I will also consider replacing Lin Qi. ”
"What I want to tell the Saudi Arabian team is that our Chinese national team does not win with Lin Qi, Lin Qi is just an important member of our team, he will fulfill his accusations, and he may become a key player in the team's victory, but it will not be only Lin Qi who can defeat the Saudi Arabian team in the end. It's our entire Chinese national team! ”
The old monster's statement seems to be quite dissatisfied with Lin Qi, but in fact, he is just to build a truly strong Chinese national team, not a strong Chinese national team that relies on An Run or Lin Qi.
No matter how strong a player is, there will always be a day of retirement, and there will always be a day of depression in a strong team, only the spirit of the team can live forever. And what Liu Yihai has to do is to give the Chinese national team this eternal spirit.
Lin Qi is a participant in this spirit, An Run is also a participant in this spirit, any player of the Chinese national team is a participant in this spirit, there can only be one real leader of the Chinese national team, this person is not Lin Qi, let alone An Run, but he Liu Yihai!
Liu Yihai did not let the Saudi Arabian team succeed, and he was not provoked by the Saudi Arabian team, and he clearly did not send Lin Qi to play, he always stood in the perspective of Chinese football. all stood in the perspective of letting the Chinese national team win.
Because of the dialogue between the two head coaches, the semi-final between the Chinese national team and the Saudi Arabian team was full of hostility before it began, and the two teams did not give in to each other, and both wanted to press each other before the game began.
Of course, it was the Saudi Arabian team that took the initiative to do this, and Liu Yihai disdained this approach, because he didn't even have to do it deliberately, and the Chinese national team had already overwhelmed the Saudi Arabian team.
Because they are the stronger side!
Strength is one thing. More importantly, the Chinese national team has played extremely stable under the leadership of Liu Yihai, and it may be difficult for them to suddenly break out to defeat those world-class teams. However, in the face of relatively weaker opponents than them, the Chinese national team will definitely not lose.
For example, in the face of Saudi Arabia, Liu Yihai believes that the Chinese national team has no reason to lose the game at all, no matter which angle you look at, they will be the final winner.
Liu Yihai's confidence really annoyed the Saudi Arabian team, is our Saudi Arabian team so unbearable in front of your Chinese national team?
The players of the Saudi Arabian team were angry. Before the game even started, they were angry because of the attitude of the Chinese national team, and this may be the real purpose of their manager.
Anger can often be a good motivation for players, and as long as the anger doesn't go too far, Saudi Arabia can certainly outperform in the semi-finals of the AFC Champions League......
After the start of the semi-finals. The Chinese national team is facing such an extraordinary Saudi Arabian team.
Unlike all the opponents that the Chinese national team has encountered before, the Saudi Arabian team did not put on a rigid posture from the beginning of the game, they took the initiative to attack, and even suppressed the Chinese national team for a period of time.
This is the momentum of the Saudi Arabian team because of anger, the head coach of the Saudi Arabian team knows very well that the strength of the Chinese national team is stronger than them, so he has to suppress the Chinese national team in terms of momentum, only in this way, they can win this game.
The reason why the Saudi Arabian team dares to take the initiative is also confident, they are not afraid of the rapid counterattack of the Chinese national team, although the Chinese national team with Anrun is very good at rapid counterattack, but the Saudi Arabian team is not afraid, because they have two central defenders who can even limit the god of war Lin Qi.
can limit Lin Qi, and naturally can also limit An Run, who lost to Lin Qi, it is the existence of these two central defenders that makes the Saudi Arabian team dare to play so unrestrained in the face of the Chinese national team.
It's just that their unrestrained spirit is really not too threatening, and the Saudi Arabian team is inferior in overall strength after all, and their offensive players can't find a way to break the goal of the Chinese national team.
The game was a stalemate, with Saudi Arabia unable to break the goal of the Chinese national team, and the counterattack of the Chinese national team was restrained by the opponent's two central defenders.
The two teams have not had much to do with each other's goals for the time being, and it has to be said that the strategy of the head coach of the Saudi Arabian team has been successful, at least he forced the Chinese national team to dare not act rashly on the field.
Because of the suppression of momentum, the possession rate of the Chinese national team in this game also plummeted, only 49 percent, which was not even as high as the opponent's possession rate.
However, it was this 49 percent possession rate that surprised the commentators at the scene.
"The possession rate of the Chinese national team is only a little behind, from the perspective of the scene, the Chinese national team seems to be at an absolute disadvantage, the momentum of the Saudi Arabian team is too fierce, and the Chinese national team can hardly raise its head."
"But from this possession rate, we can see that the Chinese national team is not really suppressed, they just play very steadily, and they don't want to give the opponent any loopholes."
"Is this the so-called heavy sword without a blade? It is an incredible thing that the Chinese national team can guarantee 49% possession in such a suppressed situation. It seems that Liu Yihai still has absolute confidence in this game, but he will not attack rashly, but he will steadily consume the opponent's ...... in terms of momentum and strength."
※※※
The first half of the game ended in such attrition, the Chinese national team and the Saudi Arabian team failed to break the opponent's goal, and the score remained 0:0!
On the surface, it seems that the Saudi Arabian team has always occupied the advantage on the field, but those experienced fans can see that it is the Chinese national team that really has the advantage.
After the suppression of the entire first half, the momentum of the Saudi Arabian team is not so strong, if it is a goal, it is better to say, if there is a goal in hand, the players of the Saudi Arabian team may be stimulated to be more combative.
But the key is that there is no goal, even if it is absolutely suppressed, the Saudi Arabian team cannot find a way to break the goal of the Chinese national team.
The defense of the Chinese national team is like a seamless egg, and the players of the Saudi Arabian team fly around, and they can't bite him from any direction.
At the end of the first half, the possession rate of the Chinese national team unexpectedly reached 51 percent, which should not belong to the defensive side at all, which is unreasonable.
However, this unreasonable thing happened, what is the plan of the Chinese national team?
Deplete! It's still consumption, but it's not the consumption of the opponent's momentum, but the consumption of the opponent's physical strength.
Saudi Arabia's possession rate is not as good as that of the opponent, how can they suppress the opponent on the field?
The answer is desperate, the players of the Saudi Arabian team are really playing hard, in order to suppress the Chinese national team, the average running distance of the players of the Saudi Arabian team is nearly two kilometers more than that of the players of the Chinese national team.
This is already a very large drain.
Liu Yihai likes to make the game simple, if you meet a stronger opponent, there is no way, but if the opponent's strength is not as good as the Chinese national team, then why not let the players beat them more easily and easily?
Although he has entered the semi-finals, what Liu Yihai wants is to make the game a little simpler, since you Saudi Arabia want to suppress us in momentum, then we will let you suppress, as long as you can still run.
I have to say that Liu Yihai, an old monster, is also wilted and wilted...... (To be continued......)
